  Habit Thoughts Exercise: My Religion Went in the morning later than usual being a Sunday. On reaching the gym found out it was closed. Surprised. Luckily, carried the Anytime Fitness card so went there for lifting. 10 min treadmill walk and run. Then went to do Triceps.     4 sets of Rope Push down lightweight. 4 sets of Triceps extension lightweight. 4 sets of Triceps kickback. Then went for Rehab. Rehab has been going well, but I still get lower back pain after moderate weight lifting. I had chest day before yesterday. The exercises were on an incline bench. Still, I had back pain all day despite maintaining proper form and not going too heavy on the bar. So there is a puzzle still unsolved on the injury part. I need to research more and do some extra routines to get better. After the gym, I came out and saw that Fit 7 was open now. Apparently, it opens at 9 A.M on Sundays. Happ...

  Habit Thoughts Exercise: My Religion Went to the Gym on cycle. Did 8 min walk on treadmill. Then moved to the Weights Area for Chest Day 4 sets of Inclined Bench Press with 51 kg max weight and 10 reps. 4 sets of Inclined Dumbell Press. 4 sets of Chest Press Machine with medium weight. 4 sets of Seated Calf raises. I also did 2 sets of standing calf raises in between the bench pres sets. Went to the CrossFit section for banded mobilization of the left hip joint. I do 1 long hold of banded pigeon position in which the stretch of the band is strong and I open my hip joint to the best extent possible. It is indeed a great hip-opening manoeuvre. Later I did the usual McGill Big 3 followed by Shoulder rehabs. Then I did 7 pull-ups on the fat bar. I finished off the workout with 3 good sets of bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squats on the same platform I mentioned earlier. I was little late in getting ...
